Wall lights nursery

Wall lights for the nursery - cosiness in the right light

Every detail counts in the baby and children's room - especially the light. Wall lights play a decisive role here. They provide orientation, calm in the evening and accompany your child safely through the night. Compared to floor lamps or table lamps , they do not take up any space on the floor or furniture. This provides more freedom of movement - and more safety.

Why a wall light makes sense in a child's room

Children need light that doesn't overwhelm them. At the same time, it should not be too dark - especially when they are falling asleep or waking up at night. A wall light fulfils exactly these needs. It distributes the light evenly in the room without dazzling. It can also be mounted securely and firmly on the wall - out of the reach of small children's hands.

Typical locations for wall lights in children's rooms

• Right next to the bed - as a night light or sleep aid
• Above the changing table - for gentle light during night-time care tasks
• In the reading corner - for reading aloud or discovering picture books
• Next to the door - for more safety at night

Which light is right for which age?

Toddlers feel more secure with warm, subdued light. A soft light source helps them to fall asleep more easily and feel safe. For older children, the light can be more powerful - for example when doing handicrafts, reading or playing. Here too, however, make sure the light colour is harmonious and the quality is flicker-free.

Wall lights that make children's eyes light up

Children are explorers. Colours, shapes and figures attract their attention - and make them smile. Modern wall lights combine function and design. Whether as a moon, star, animal or fairy-tale character: the choice is huge and leaves room for imagination.

Popular designs for children's wall lights:

• Animal motifs: bear, elephant, owl
• Celestial bodies: sun, moon and stars
• Fairy tale figures: fairy, knight, dragon
• Simple designs in pastel colours - for timeless children's rooms

Safety comes first - you should pay attention to this

When used in children's rooms, safety comes first. Wall lights should be made of robust, shatterproof material and be securely mounted. Lights with permanently installed LEDs are ideal - they hardly generate any heat and do not contain any fragile components.

Important safety features:

• Shatterproof housing (e.g. wood or plastic)
• No freely accessible and break-proof light sources
• LEDs with low heat generation
• Protection class IP20 or higher
• Safe power supply without exposed cables

Why LED is the best choice for children's rooms

LED wall lights are durable, economical and safe. They switch on immediately, do not flicker and remain cool - even after prolonged use. The advantage is particularly evident in children's rooms, where lights are often left switched on for long periods: constant light quality with maximum safety.

Light colour and brightness - tailored to your child

Not every light colour is suitable for every situation. Warm, calming light colours are recommended for luminaires in children's rooms. They help children to fall asleep and create a relaxed atmosphere. During the day, the light can be somewhat more neutral - especially when playing or learning.

Recommended values:

• Warm white (2,700-3,000 Kelvin): Calming, ideal for evenings
• Neutral white (up to 4,000 Kelvin): Activating, good for playing or crafting
• Dimming function: Adjust light intensity individually
• Luminous flux:
  • Night light: approx. 100 lumens
  • Reading light: approx. 300-500 lumens

Correct positioning of the wall lamp

To ensure that the light does not dazzle and is well distributed in the room, the lamp should be mounted at an adult's eye level - usually 1.5 to 1.8 metres above the floor. Make sure that the light does not shine directly into your child's face. Indirect light has a more pleasant and calming effect.

Integrate wall lights into the lighting concept

Good lighting in a child's room consists of various light sources. The wall light complements the ceiling light, table lamp or night light - depending on the function and time of day. This creates a harmonious lighting concept.
Light zones in the children's room:

• Ceiling light: For uniform ambient lighting
• Wall light: For calm, soft lighting accents
• Desk lamp: Targeted for learning or handicrafts
• Night light: Orientation in the dark

Design and furnishings - a harmonious combination

The design of the light also contributes to the feel-good atmosphere. Match the colours and style to the room's furnishings. Light colours and natural materials have a calming effect. Colourful lights bring life to the playroom.
A tip: Choose a light that 'grows' with your child - for example with a neutral but friendly design.

Security and safety - in every moment of light

Wall lights for children's rooms provide more than just light. They provide orientation, promote safety and create a loving atmosphere. Whether as a sleeping aid, decorative highlight or part of a well thought-out lighting concept - a good children's room wall light will accompany you and your child through many happy years.
